The car is real and not a Le Patron. The base is a 2CV or Dyane indeed  :)

If it isn't a Le Patron, is it a Lomax then?

This is the one-off 2CV-based HJS Special, made in the UK. c.2007.

From memory HJS are the initials of the gentleman that built the car, but sadly as I'm away from home for the next ten days I'm not going to be able to find his name, so reluctantly I will have to let someone else get this.  The car is called the HJS special though.

I've found the website of the builder, and HJS are indeed the initials of the builder.

I think it's too easy for someone else to find the name now, so I'll keep it locked for you until your next reply, even if it takes a month ;)

Thank you Guido66, that's very kind.  Hopefully it won't take a month as I will return back home early next week after visiting Le Mans Classic.  ;D

Sadly in both cases it's work, although i may manage a few minutes 'play'.  It's tough at the top!

Rotten job then: Goodwood Festival of Speed; Le Mans Classic.
Still, some poor sod has to do it, I suppose!

Ah, I'd forgotten I was still meant to find this guy's name!  I will dig it out.

Free for all, Djetset will get a point when I moved it to solved, but there's another point for who comes us with the full name of the builder.
